HTTP status 422

What it means

A bare pipe code matches pipes in several domains or methods, so the runtime cannot tell which one the request means.

What to do

Pick one of params.candidates and select it by a reference that names it alone, such as its domain-qualified reference.

Next steps

A problem carries the step aimed at whoever reads it: the first when its reader is the domain's actor, the caller, and the second for any other reader.

Reader Kind Detail
The domain's actor change_input Select one of the matching pipes by a reference that names it alone, then send the request again.
Any other reader change_input Pass this to the caller, who must select one of the matching pipes unambiguously.

Detail

The problem's detail is written from this template, filled with the occurrence's parameters:

The pipe selection '{pipe}' matches several pipes: {candidates}.

Parameters

Every parameter is present on every occurrence of the code.

Name Type Description
pipe identifier The pipe selection the request gives.
candidates list of identifier The pipes the selection matches.
